From southern Kenya, where the Massai people reside comes this spear. It is also known as Lion Spear supposedly used by young warriors to hunt a lion as a proof for their courage and manhood. True story?? We do not know. This one is early to mid 20 C. and of somewhat unusual shape. Heavy blade with twisted tang, 26 inches long. 27 inches long steel tail. Short wood handle in the center. Total length 56 inches. Very good condition.
